Cabinet secretary urges Kenyan Universities to raise their own funds.

Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi
has said public universities should look for alternative sources of
money. He said they should stop relying on government funds for
development.
Kaimenyi said that the government will not be able to meet the
institutions' demands because the university education budget is
limited. He said chancellors should work with various university
councils' to exploreways of investing and earning money.
Kaimeny said this will ensure studies continues uninterrupted at the
institutions of higher learning since the government had financed their
foundation.
The directive was contained in a statement read on his behalf by the
assistant director of higher learning Milton Njuki during the Laikipia
University's first graduation ceremony.
